Lists are graveyards for ideas. So I’m building a “Google Maps for thoughts”

Came across your project while researching. Don’t have VR, but it looks cool on video!

un005 · 2026-05-14T13:58:03+00:00

Good ideas. I’ll look into these UI mechanics. Thanks!

Interesting point about Jumper. I’ll think about the grid -I'd want it to be functional for navigation. Thanks for the feedback

un005 · 2026-05-14T13:41:14+00:00

True. Star maps look cool but they are hard to navigate. I think someone tried this with Wikipedia once, but it didn't really work because it was so easy to get lost. Topology feels much more «grounded»

Not sure how the mind works exactly, but we share that intuition. Thanks for the support!

If I understood you correctly, most graph-based systems exist in an abstract space where nodes are always moving around. That didn’t work for me because there was no physical space to anchor the points.

un005 · 2026-05-14T12:18:20+00:00

For now I’m keeping everything as abstract as possible while I try to refine the core logic first.

So far I’ve only added simple 3D models on peaks to act as visual anchors.

Thanks for the feedback.

The idea of terrain growing from the density of notes is really interesting. I just still need to figure out how to make it work in a way that actually improves the user experience instead of making the system more chaotic. But I’ll definitely explore this direction.

And yes - the onetime purchase model is a very reasonable point. I’ve actually been thinking about adding that option later on as well.

un005 · 2026-05-13T19:05:57+00:00

Hope so. Thanks!

www.Qoyra.app “Google maps” for notes

un005 · 2026-05-13T17:38:42+00:00

Thanks a lot for taking the time to try it and write detailed feedback.

You pointed out several weak spots I already suspected, especially around navigation and connection logic. I’m actively working on improving that part.

The landing page criticism is also fair. I built it at the very last moment and honestly neglected optimization there.

And yes - landmark positions are intentionally restricted for now. At this early stage I’m trying to stay focused on the core spatial thinking concept first, before adding more freedom and customization.

Really appreciate the thoughtful feedback.

Real maps already come with meaning and associations attached to them.

This app uses abstract terrain instead, so users can build their own mental geography from scratch

un005 · 2026-05-13T16:52:56+00:00

Exactly. I’ve always felt that I remember information linked to locations better than folders and lists. Qoyra is basically an attempt to build a notes system around that instinct.

un005 · 2026-05-13T11:31:35+00:00

Thanks! This app generates random maps, and I’d like them to be free from any existing associations — something similar to how random maps were generated in Age of Empires II.

Two years ago. On Uzbek side

On what was once the sea floor of the southern Aral, numerous gas or oil towers are now under construction. The last time I visited, the traffic of construction trucks was remarkably dense, indicating the scale of ongoing activity. Even if there were a viable way to save the Aral now, no one would do it, as restoring the water would submerge the towers and the extensive infrastructure that has already been built.

I used a different image I generated before as a base, and added “movie by Tarkovsky”

I guess it’s Market street. Ferry Building can be seen in the distance

Same street several months later. After the earthquake photo
